“ Jean-Paul Belgrado gave an excellent presentation of the most current research. I found this to be very educationally rewarding. I would love to be able to spend time in his lab and see his “toys” in action. I am very interested in learning about the most current research he is conducting and staying up-to-date on his findings in order to be an evidence-based practitioner.” Stanford, CA October 2012
